Exactly right David..... It was amazing how long the soles could last even though almost all the edge of the sole was plugs!

Well done Tom. It's the soldered connection of the spout to an old hand made oilcan....
Next for shaving?

Quite right Cathy! That section of the object is about 2" long.

Is if the handle of a kitchen tool that you need to grip, like a tin opener?

It makes me think of my dad's old hair clippers.

You got it Wendy, the second. It's the handle of an old pair of hand hair clippers.

It's the barrel of a miniature cannon.

A bit harsh perhaps I'd say - it's been described as such a few times.
I'll try "carronade"

If it walks like duck and quacks like duck it probably is a duck.
Splitting hairs in my view.
It looks like a cannon and probably sounds like one if put into use so in my book it is a cannon.

You may well think so and I will give it to you Ian but the fact remains that it is not a cannon but a Carronade.
Now we need another object.

You have had this one before:
I want a proper description of how it is used.
